Hosta ‘Fortunei Hyacinthina’

Hosta

USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.277.170

Hosta are among the most popular of perennials for shady areas, with hundreds of varieties now readily available. Plants form a sturdy mound of foliage, topped with lily-like blooms. This medium-sized selection forms a wide mound of broad, heart-shaped, powdery grey-green leaves with heavy substance, making them highly slug resistant. Excellent for mass plantings. Good sun tolerance. Pale lavender flowers appear in mid to late summer. Suitable for planting in mixed containers or tubs. Hosta go completely dormant in the fall, and the dying foliage can be removed any time before mid spring. Easily divided in either spring or fall, but plants may be left alone for years. While deer enjoy eating Hosta, this variety may be slightly less palatable to deer than others.
